Research Wood-Gormley Elementary School Public Schools in Santa Fe, New Mexico

“This school is great my children learn so much here and the teachers are so nice. Me and my kids love it here.”

“The previous writers No Child Left Behind comments I found interesting. The principal at this school is exceptional. She was highly committed to students. The supervision of playground activities and attention to special needs not as good as I would have liked. Too many delays in meeting the needs of the child even though we were very proative parents. They encourage parent involment yet I signed up for many of the parent-assisted activities no one ever called me. It felt like there was a clickishness to the school. I have education in film-making, music, art and literature, outdoor activities and publishing as well as administrative background--offered my help in all areas and no one ever called me”

“Overall, we are very pleased. We particularly appreciate the fact that Wood Gormley does not 'teach the test' the way so many schools do now. Very committed and aggressive base of parents at this school are a challenge for the principal. Principal has an eye for teaching talent and has mostly (but not completely) stocked the school with some real winners. 'No Child Left Behind' rules have created an influx of particularly tough children in lower grades, whose parents value the door-to-door bus service and the extra child care at the end of the day more than the school itself.”
